Marvel and UN to stop war, end disease in comic

Marvel is teaming with the United Nations to create a comic book showing the international organization working with superheroes to solve conflicts and rid the world of disease.

The Financial Times reports that the comic, set in a war-torn fictional country — I vote for Latveria or Sierra Gordo! — initially will be distributed free to 1 million schoolchildren in the United States. Afterward, the comic will be translated into other languages and distributed elsewhere.

According to the article, the script should be approved in February. The creators, whose names aren’t revealed, are working for free.
